That's the attitude of those who insist that you have to love America the way that it is and that if you attempt any change of it, including change within the democratic process, you hate America and should leave. And this is the attitude of head-in-the-sand conservatives who insist upon pretending that America has done no wrong and that if you think any wrong has been committed, you hate America. But as much as I love my country (and I truly do), I readily admit that it has done many shameful things that have brought discredit to it. So no, I don't insist that you have to love America the way it is or leave. I myself would like to see many more changes, so that America becomes the ideal of what it should be.

Sure, you are free - just as long as you are in the group that the system was meant for. But if we are truly free, then we would not be asked to "love it or leave it." If we are truly free then we would be able to not only point out the fact that the current system has failed, but we would also be able to decline to participate while being allowed to stay (or leave) as we see fit. Thanks. I like to point this out to those who argue that we live in a free country. Sure, you are free – just as long as you are in the group that the system was meant for.
